    Polar interpolation post help

    Let's say I create a box 2" X 2" and put a tool path to it using polar interpolation code, it should look something like this without the tool offest.

    X2.0
    C-1.
    X-2.0
    C1.0
    X2.

    But instead Esprit is outputting this: I've shown the gcode with long nc code in hopes of getting some help on this matter. I no longer have support and my company will not be upgrading for another few months...oh well. This post is from the legacy post file and I would think it should work.
